This new framework will optimize the impact of initiatives and ensure a coordinated response to the most urgent needs. This collaborative approach will foster a shared vision of priorities, including improved access to care, state-of-the-art equipment and treatments, and greater support throughout the patient's health care journey.

Over the coming months, the foundations will be promoting the projects and initiatives that they have chosen to support and calling on citizens to help shape the future of health care in their communities.

A commitment that makes a difference

Thanks to the sustained efforts and unwavering commitment of our 10 partner foundations, a total of $1,525,476 has been raised in 2023-2024. In total, nearly $29 million has been donated over the past 10 years, supporting many initiatives and projects to improve services within the Network’s facilities.

Dr. France Desrosiers, President and CEO, underlines the importance of these contributions and the generosity of our donors.

"Every donation, no matter the size, directly helps improve health care in your region. The dedication of the foundations and donors is crucial to meeting the challenges we face. More than ever, we need to work hand in hand: alone, we go faster; together, we go further.”
